The Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management (BIBM) is a national training, research, consultancy, and education institute focused on banking and finance. It was established in 1974 and is collectively owned by all banks operating in Bangladesh[1][3]. BIBM's primary role is to provide training to mid-level and senior officials of banks and financial institutions, although it also offers educational programs such as the Masters in Bank Management (MBM) and Evening MBM (EMBM)[1][3]. Additionally, BIBM conducts research in banking and finance, organizes seminars and roundtable discussions, and aids financial institutions in recruitment processes[1][3]. BIBM publishes a quarterly journal named Bank Parikrama, which focuses on articles related to banking, finance, economics, and allied subjects[1]. The institute is governed by a board that includes the Governor of Bangladesh Bank as its chairman and managing directors of various banks in Bangladesh[1]. BIBM also offers specialized training programs, such as the Certified Professionals in SME Financing (CPSMEF), which includes both online and on-campus modules[3]. This reflects BIBM's commitment to enhancing skills in areas like SME financing, which is crucial for supporting small and medium enterprises in Bangladesh.
